in reply to Re^4: getfile( $filename )
in thread getfile( $filename )

First, I wouldn't have expected scalar to take two arguments. True, modern perlfunc pages document this, but it's certainly unexpected to me.

Second, I dislike modifying $_ in a map, because I believe a map to be applicative, not side-effect-ish.
